I sincerely appreciate everyone's responses and perspective on this, and I now regret posting this as a "bad" experience. I very well may buy from Yoox again, knowing as I do now their policies and the efficacy of waiting for markdowns.

@amd123: Cerbero suede brogues.

@KingOfThe Forum: I couldn't agree more. Civility is key.

Do they still have your size? Often there's only one available. Pulling the trigger early -- and paying more -- can be the difference in getting an item and not getting an item.

If you got the last one, take comfort in knowing that there are probably guys out there looking at the sold-out item in their Dreambox and thinking "Knew I shouldn't have waited ..."

Meanwhile your headline "Bad Yoox experience-.....{etc}..." is now going viral on the internet.... which kind of sucks for Yoox.

Exactly, now everyone quit buying the stuff I want.

The same happened to me late last year, but a customer service rep had no issues refunding the price difference over the phone.

I dont know if their policies have changed since.

Uhhh, unless there's only one item left and you risk not getting it at all. That's like half of yoox stock.

You're a horrible consumer and have no real justification behind your complaint.

Maybe you should have bought it with a credit card with purchase price protection?
